1010 WINS - Study: 600 Pre-school Kids Expelled In NY: "May 17, 2005 11:29 am US/Eastern
(1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) More than 600 kids are expelled from preschool in New York each year, according to a new study. That means preschoolers get kicked out at a rate nearly 18 times higher than that of kids from kindergarten to 12th grade. Preschoolers are generally three- and four-years-old.
The study shows that boys are four-and-a-half times more likely to get booted out than girls. Black children are twice as likely to get expelled as white or Hispanic preschoolers.
On average, six out of every one-thousand preschoolers are expelled from schools across the country.
In New York, the rate is nine out of every 1,000.
Preschool is not required in New York, so it's easier to remove a troublemaker than it would be in higher grades.
Roughly 42,000 kids attend preschool in New York.
The two-year study was done by Yale University researcher Walter Gilliam."
